Definitions
- the present invention relates to a portable household appliance of the type comprising a housing 1 inside which is placed a drive motor of at least one working tool, said housing comprising an opening for receiving a push button, the manual actuation controls the energization of the drive motor.
- the invention relates more particularly, although not exclusively, to household electrical appliances commonly called portable mixers, for which the working tool is intended for mixing or mixing culinary preparations.
- the pushbuttons In portable household appliances currently on the market, the pushbuttons generally have a surface forming a raised button relative to the opening of the housing.
- the only way for this type of device to meet the aforementioned safety standards is to provide that the displacement of the push button, when it is applied to the sphere-shaped test finger, is less than the displacement necessary to establish the power up the drive motor. This results in a bulky construction of the push button inside the housing.
- food splashes may penetrate the casing much more easily through the opening, and ultimately harm the proper functioning of the device.
- the purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks by proposing a compact push button, which is moreover aesthetic, ergonomic, and which meets the requirements imposed by the standards in terms of safety.
- the opening has a peripheral rim on which the sphere constituting the test finger is capable of bearing by penetrating beyond the opening into an area delimited by a portion sphere, the push button further comprising a touch surface. which has a peripheral contour flush with the plane of the opening and a central part such that the surface is housed in the recessed housing relative to said portion of the sphere.
- the peripheral rim of the opening matches the shape of the sphere, and / or the surface forming a touch matches the shape of the portion of the sphere.
- the sphere-shaped test finger can come to rest on the peripheral rim, and be at most tangent to the touching surface, without actuate, i.e. cause the push button to move.
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a portable hand-held mixer according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 illustrates a vertical section, on a different scale, of the upper part of the immersion blender represented in FIG. 1.
- the portable hand-held mixer represented by way of example in the figures conventionally comprises a housing 1, preferably made of plastic material such as polypropylene, in the longitudinal extension of which extends a mixer stand constituting a working tool intended for mixing or mix culinary preparations, and of which only the envelope 2 can be seen in FIG. 1.
- the housing contains, in known manner, a drive motor (not shown) of the working tool.
- the housing further comprises an opening 3 which receives a push button 4 whose manual actuation controls the energization of the drive motor, as will be explained in more detail below.
- safety standards require that a test finger in the shape of a sphere of predetermined diameter, when pressed on the push button, cannot allow the drive motor to be energized.
- the opening 3 receiving the push button is delimited by a peripheral rim 30 on which the sphere constituting the test finger is capable of bearing during the verification test for compliance with standards.
- safety as illustrated in Figure 2 in which the sphere is shown partially in broken lines and referenced by the letter S. We then see that the sphere S will penetrate beyond the opening on an area delimited by a portion of sphere.
- the push button 4 has a surface forming a button which has a peripheral contour 40 flush with the plane of the opening 3, and a central part 41, said peripheral contour 40 and said central part 41 being such that the touch forming surface which they define is positioned in the housing 1 set back with respect to the sphere portion.
- the peripheral rim 30 of the opening 3 follows the shape of the sphere S.
- the surface forming the touch also preferably follows the shape of the portion of the sphere.
- the sphere S is then, in this particular case, tangent to the peripheral rim 30 and to the surface forming the key.
- the opening 3 may have any cross-section of any shape, for example circular, in which case the touch-forming surface has the shape of a spherical cap, as in the case of the figures, or else oblong. In the latter case, the sphere will bear on the lateral parts of the peripheral rim.
- the peripheral rim 30 of the opening 3 can be formed on the top of a boss 31 projecting relative to the surface of the housing 1.
- the shapes given according to the invention at the peripheral rim 30 and at the touch surface give the push button a particularly ergonomic character since the thumb or forefinger of a user adapts perfectly to the concave shape of the central part 41 of the button.
- peripheral contour 40 of the touch surface is flush with the plane of the opening 3 prevents food splashes from entering the housing 1 through the opening 3.
- peripheral rim 30 of the opening and the touching surface conform to the shape of the sphere S and of the portion of the sphere, respectively, meets the desired aesthetic criteria.
- the push-button 4 For normal start-up of the apparatus, that is to say by manual action on the push-button, provision may be made for the push-button 4 to be provided with an actuating rod 42 mounted at the rear of the touch-forming surface, as illustrated in FIG. 2. This rod is movable in translation when the push button 4 is actuated to a position in which the free end 43 of the rod controls the placing under drive motor voltage.
- a return spring 45 allows in known manner to return the push button 4 to its initial position as soon as the user releases the pressure he exerts on the touch surface.
- the free end 43 of the rod 42 carries an electrical conductor 44 which can connect two electrical contacts 5a, 5b positioned on a printed circuit board 5, in series with the drive motor.
- the present invention makes it possible to minimize the stroke necessary for the actuating rod to come to connect the electrical contacts 5a, 5b, and therefore to optimize the size of the push button inside the housing. 1, especially in the narrowest region of this housing corresponding to the handle of the device.
